A Reader’s Review
This is an awesome resource book for children and adults alike. This is not just a story book. This book contains so many answers to questions we all have in a time when we are faced with grief so profound it becomes almost too difficult to find the words to express it. Genie, through dedication, prayer, and years of experience working with children of all ages in the education field has found the words to share with all readers in the pages of this book Charlie Loses A Friend. Highly recommended!
